MANUAL EXPOSURE SETTING

The following manual settings for shutter speed and aperture are a

good choice:

– to create a special image mood that can only be achieved with a

very speciﬁc type of exposure

– to ensure a perfectly identical exposure for multiple images with

diﬀerent cropped sections

▸ Tap the shutter button

▸ Set the desired exposure (using the shutter speed setting dial or

the aperture setting wheel on the lens).

• This is done with the help of the mark on the light balance in

the footer line of the screen image.

▸ Shutter release

• The exposure compensation is done using the scale of the

light balance:

– No white scale lines = correct exposure

– White scale lines to the left/right of the center mark =

under or overexposure by the displayed value or by more

than ±3EV (Exposure Value)

Notes

• The shutter speed setting dial must be clicked to one of the

engraved exposure shutter speeds or to one of the intermediate

values.

The function of the thumbwheel depends in modes A and M on the

setting of the shutter speed setting dial.
